We first learned of Bishop Mariann Budde when she confronted President Trump about his takeover of St. John's Church for his photo op in 2020. Then we heard her soft-spoken plea for mercy two months ago at the inauguration service when she spoke on behalf of those who are in fear. We now know they had every reason to fear. We might wonder how such a small, soft-spoken, gray-haired lady got the courage to speak truth to power when we're watching bigger and more powerful men crumble. This book charts the path with honesty, humility and wisdom. Led by Vikki Randall, DMin and Kay Drinkwitz, BS.
